DT Competition spokes came in stock.

I've got more planned to order in,
but for now I grabbed just what we need right away.

I'd really like them to bring back the 100-spoke box units
instead of just the 4- or 10-spoke packages.
Those boxes are genuinely useful.

The nipples come in smaller units too,

but pulling nipples out of these tightly wound coils
is seriously tedious work.

but it doesn't look like it's increased much.

I built a front wheel using a Wolber Super Champion
Recordo du Monde rim.

only the nipples on both sides of the valve hole in orange.

There's no Dura-Ace marking on the hub shell,

but there is one on the dust seal.
By the way, if the part number is HB-7120, it becomes a large flange hub.
